1. Do Precision and Climate Concerns Shape Fertilizer Usage Proportions? Evidence from DenmarkFarmers are constantly facing pressure to enhance crop productivity while minimizing environmental and climate impacts through efficient input management. In Denmark, because of concerns over nitrogen leaching, greenhouse gas emissions, and water quality degradation, there are tight regulations to fertilizer use. This makes precision farming technologies a key to the efficient management of nutrients through site-specific input application based on crop and soil variability. However, adoption... N.

2. Economic performance of Robotic Applications in Field Crop Farming: Examples from Four European Case StudiesThis paper presents cost benefit analysis of robotic applications in field crop farming based on case studies from an EU project called ROBS4CROPS with pilot cases situated in Loire valley in France, Corinth in Greece, Catalonia in Spain and Oldambt in the Netherlands. The cases form France and The Netherlands focus on mechanical weeding in vineyards and sugar beet, respectively. The ones in Spain and Greece deal with robotic spraying of crop protection chemicals in apple orchards and table grapes,... T.W. Tamirat, S.M. Pedersen |
